Survey smurvey!

    After a week of trying to make riches by answering surveys I am giving up!  The frustration level associated with a lot of online surveys is just not worth the $.50 you might or might not earn.  Not all online surveys are bad mind you.  There is one that is actually a lot of fun!
    If you watch a lot of tv try RewardTV.com.  You earn points by answering questions about the shows you watch.  You can then use those points for gift cards and other goodies.  You won't make a lot off of this site but it is entertaining and earning a $10 Target giftcard for watching endless amounts of NCIS and the Big Bang Theory is not too bad!  You do need to earn quite a few points before you can redeem them.  There are other surveys on the site so you have plenty of chances to earn!  In one hour I earned 30,000 points!
    If you have a smartphone another good survey is Surveys on the Go.  It is free to download the app just do a search for surveys.  You need to earn $10 before you can cash out.  It may take a while but you can do the sutveys anywhere!  The surveys are quick and easy.  I have done 2 on the bus ride to work!  I will probably let this one continue to add up before I cash out.
    One site that I am not very happy with is InboxDollars.com.  They say it is easy to earn money, but I am really not seeing it.  I do not get a lot of surveys from them.  They also want you to sign up for things like a diabetes cook book to earn cash.  They also give you a chance to earn money by performing tasks.  You can select from a list of tasks that have you looking up answersing on the web.  I have done this 3 times and have not been paid for 1!  After I have almost reached the end they will tell me my answers are not what they wanted so my task does not count.  This site really grinds my gears!
   All is not lost however!  I have been going through my closets and will start selling old baseball cards and hockey action figures on ebay!  I am also going to see about selling special candles.  I will keep you updated on those!

Cheers!
     

Online survey's...good way to make money?

  On my way to getting myself out of debt I have been looking for ways to make some extra cash.  Old Navy has not called to offer me a seasonal job yet so I went a totally different way- online surveys.  I read a story about it on yahoo and thought, "What the heck!  I can do that!"  So, I found a site with websites galore and signed up on a few.  The survey companies I signed up with offer either cash ot points you can redeem for cash or gift cards.  Some let you cash out with as little as $10 in your account.  Getting to that $10 ia another story.
  If you are going to do surveys make sure you have a lot of spare time.  Right now I have all kinds of spare time!  On each site the first few surveys are profiles so they know what kind of surveys to send you.  I was so excited when I started filling in my info!  I was thinking that not only do I get to give my opinion to someone- they are going to pay me for it!
  The first few days were fun.  I had earned points and a few dollars and was on my way to the big bucks!  After I had filled out most of my profile surveys I waited patiently for others to follow.  And I waited.  And I waited.  Turns out there are a lot of 40 year old women looking to make a few extra $$s!  I am not giving up hope though.  I have told myself to keep checking and answer the surveys that come my way.  The money will add up, just not overnight.

I am probably going to blog every other day.  That way I have time to do my crazy scheems to make some extra cash.  My next blog topic will be:  They survey companies and things I have been asked!

See you then!
